Requirement to start a topic. - sim323 - 19-08-2009 08:07 PM
Ok, So there was a stupid spammer last night and I think there should be a requirement to post topics. Like at least be registered for 25 minutes and 10-20 posts. I don't know if anything like this Is already implemented but there are spammers who start topics and users who post 2-3 times and are all 3 topics under technical help that the user never relies back to. Just a thought anyways

I agree. This would also help keep Bots out too. pawn, Spam, etc.
Maybe make it so that they have to be a member for 15 minutes before they can post? Anyone who is a true fan won't mind waiting that extra 15 minutes before they post, and it will discourage most spammers from coming back to spam us after signing up.

This is a good idea. And I also think that you should have to start a topic in the introduction part of the forum before you start doing any other posting. I hate it when newbie's with one post randomly post in topics before introducing themselves. And I agree with you about how they ask questions in the technical help and never post again. You should at least thank the person that helped you. >_>

I think a lot of people who sign up sing up JUST because we have a technical help section, and knowing they can get help. Then once they get help ... we never see them again.

anyways back on topic: I think you should to have at least been registered for 15 minutes and have at least 10 posts before you start a topic. I remember I signed up somewhere and it was like that
